How Restaurant Dish Machine Repairs Differ
When to Call About a Commercial Dishwasher
- Water not filling or draining from the tank
- Rinse arms spraying weakly or unevenly
- Leaks under the machine or from the doors
- Machine trips the breaker or will not power on
Commercial dish machines come from specialist manufacturers, so ask whether the company works on your brand and can get parts for it.
If Your Dishwasher Is Leaking

A dishwasher must be grounded; if the home wiring lacks a ground or the plug does not fit the outlet, a licensed electrician should correct it rather than modifying the plug. Source: Whirlpool - Dishwasher User Instructions
